THE sTR1KEs.
-. -

Monday morning, the 18th inst,
the hands employed upon the dam and
reservoir for the Raleigh water works,
a mile or more from the city, struck
for higher wages, They came to town
in a body and went to the large force
of hands, which was engaged in laying
the pipes, and notified them of their
action.
For awhile there was an excited
consultation between the strikers and
the ~pipe-layers. Application was made
to the police department by the
foreman of the pipe-laying force, Mr..
Taylor, which resulted in the sending
of two or three ,pe1bemen to the scene.
This caused the strikers to- disperse,
but it Was Ha only a short while before
the pipe layers fixed up. their. tools,
deposited them in thelbo4es and went
theiraway, declaring a'generalastrike.
This was engaged in by the whole
force, except the plumbers and cork
ers, And they. cannot proceed until until
more pipe is laid.na -

the water works,,'was out of the city,

Two honest farmers met on the pier

A farmer never need fear to be too
busy. 1t is the busy man who is the
most successful, Business tends to
method and rule :in<one's work; in fact,
the word business is derived from this
overflow Of work, SO that a business
man is one. who is always occupied
with multiplicity of affairs. The ex-
perime1ital farm at Woburn,' England,
which was owned by Earl Ducie,y some
years ago need ~acdireetor, and per-
son was,named as, competent to under
take the management, Of IT, But it
was suggested that he was already
overwhelmed with work. "Then he
isthe very man we want" said the
Earl 1.-The busiest man hassral
ways more ]lr capability and spare
time thad any other. I want
none Of Your lo1terers." This shrewd
remark shows a deep insight into
human nature;'f for it has always been
the, most occupied. men who have done
the most work and have been the most
useful to their fellow men. On the
farm this knack of business is most
important for the farmer who is en-
ploying labor. He must keep the
men busy at profitable work as well
as. to. keep busy himself. The busy
farmer, too, is the one who can most
easily discharge his business from his
mind and in the evening; With his
family around himscan Engage in "a
variety Of useful studies n and find
recreation as well as benefit from
them.-N. Y. Times.

Leslie pays a handsome compliment
TO this most wonderful and beaati-
full city, for which Great Falls most
respectfully doifs It's cap to the .eS-
ecutiye, In this portion ofthe report
he says: During The present year
the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
railroad has entered this territory and
built upon its soil, TO that most won-
derful and beautiful city, Great Falls,
on the Missouri rivera distance Of
404 miies-of railroad, and the Mon

will be finished in the early months

On the whole the report Of the ex-

TIE CELEBRATION.

Great Falls has reason to be proud
Of the splendid celebration on Sator-
day. The train was on time-as it al
ways has been-and the people forth
with proceeded to rejoice heartily.
The decorations and the grand pa
rade attested the deep public inter
est that was felt in the advanced the
locomotive, which every one justly re-
garded as the powerful agency upon
which depended the growth
of the city. County Attorney
Taylor's able Grafton made plain to
every mind the creditable circun-
stances under which the railroad
had been Observation-Disclosures
which mark a new era in railroad
building and compare very ~favorably
with these methods Observed build
ing and operating the Pacific rail
roads which are the subject OF per
petual Investigation. Mr.. Taylor also
expressed the public sentiment when
he referred in grateful terms to
Messrs, Hill, Broaawater and Gibson,
and Others associated with the great
work. The fireworks, the bonfire and
the grand ball all served to entertain
our guests and 10 make manifest the
enthusiasm Of the people,
Great Falls assumes her business
aspect today. Our people must re
member that a railroad terminus has
duties as we'll as honors. Our duty
will be to turn to account the iron
horse which awards so generously
those who are enterprising and vigi-
liant. We must direct the channels Of
trade and industry in this direction
by united efforts, IN order that we
may reap the full harvest when Mon
tana, arrayed in the dignity of state
hood, stands forth as the commercial
and industrial center Of that unde-
veloped empire which extends from
Lake Superior To the Pacific coast.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10. 1887.
L

SLSlp 1o NADAASs N-NsA
itoba railroad has reached its goal
and to-day the last spike in the west
ern extension was driven home-the
completion of the greatest work and
most daring enterprise in railroad an
mails!
Other railroads have been built
across the plainsinto the Rocky noun
tain country, but they were aided by
immense grants Of lands or money
and their construction was the work
of years; without subsidy ofany char
acter, the Manitoba has extended its
line across the trackless prairies, &C
complishing more in a single eason
than has ever been done before in
thrice the same period, surpassing'all
records and fairly astonishing the
world. Six months ago the Manitoba
was at Minot, nearly 600 miles away,
and although it was announced that
Great Falls would be reached in Octo-
Der, but few were ready to believe it.
It seemed an impossibility. The past
=
records OF railroad bnilding did not
give warrant to it, but to-day we have
the reality and are privileged to wit
ness the accomplishment Of this great
work, the marvel Of the age.
The value and Importance Of this
enterprise to Montana, and particu-
larly to its favored city Of Great Falls,
will be as great as was the work it
self. 1t inaugurates a new II and
one that will be particularly bright
ndprosperous for northern Montana.
It will aid in upbuilding every inter
est and industry Of the territory by
lessening rates of transportation and
bringing US nearer, as it were, TO the
seaboard cities. It will bring in set
tiers to till our rich soils and profit by
our free ranges; while in various ways
it will aid in the development of our
rich mines of coal and precious min
erals. To-day marks the beginning Of
this active, progressive epoch for nor
thern Montana.
The TRIBUNE in behalf of the peo-
pie of Great Falls extends greeting
and welcome to the great Manitoba
and to its representatives who are here
to-day, including the great tracklayer
and his skilled workmen, to whom no
small share of credit is due for the
accomplishment Of the work Of this
season. We rejoice with them that
the last spike on the western extension
of the Manitoba is driven and bid
them Godspeedon their way to Helena
and Butte over the Montana Central!

An EXCELLENT REPORT.

Gov. Leslie's report to the secretary
of the interior is an excellent one, in
which he accords full justice to our
Mountain Empire and its great re-
sources. He places the population at
100000, an increase of 10000 during
the year, which the TRIBUNE thinks is
entirely too low an estimate. The
population of Montana is not less
than 10000, and probably more than
that.
Referring to the progress of the
past year the governor says, having,
doubtless, Great Falls in his mind:
ssCities have sprung up like magic:
large, stately structures have been
erected for public use; substantial
and commodious school houses and
other institutions of learning, good
church buildings, commercial and
banking houses that would be no dis
credit to Wall street, mark the pro-
gress of this great country
